Multi-crew pilot licence
With a multi-crew pilot licence (MPL), you can act as co-pilot in an aeroplane required to be operated with a co-pilot.
With an MPL, you are only allowed to fly as co-pilot in a multi-pilot aeroplane. You may also obtain privileges corresponding to a private pilot licence (PPL) or a commercial pilot licence (CPL). These privileges allow you to fly solo as pilot-in-command. Obtaining the licence does not require previous experience, and
If you are unable to complete the full MPL training course, you can apply to Traficom for a licence with a more limited set of privileges.
